» IN A BID TO BE MORE open , transparent and accessible , the GGF and its associate bodies , FENSA , BFRC ( Window and Door Energy Ratings ), Installsure ( specialist insurance ) and RISA ( inspections ), are pleased to invite FIT Show visitors to stand T41 to find out more about the enormous number of initiatives and support services now on offer .
The GGF alone has launched a number of new initiatives in recent months including the Skilled Pathways Training scheme , Window of Opportunity research and the glass recycling scheme as Tom Butler , Head of Sales & Marketing explains : “ The GGF Group continually researches , develops and launches initiatives designed to provide members and non-members
|
with valuable and tangible support . The GGF and its sister organisations have also been responsible for launching Pulse Testing to assess trickle vent requirements on a property , which has been a huge help to installation businesses previously worried about the change in Building Regulations . The new glass recycling scheme is also a welcome addition to the already successful recycling |
programmes for PVC-U and aluminium frames .
“ Meeting people face-toface allows both parties to understand each other better so we want visitors to ‘ come and press the flesh ’ to find out more about each of the organisations in the group , and how they work .
“ The GGF Group will have staff on hand throughout the FIT Show to discuss all of the
|
initiatives and support services that it provides for every level of the glass and glazing industry , so we hope the industry takes advantage of what will probably be the best opportunity we will have for a couple of years to meet and find out more about each other .”
In addition to the number of new initiatives launched by the GGF in recent months – GGF officers believe that FIT Show presents a rare opportunity for visitors to learn more about the organisations that represent the UK glass and glazing industry and thousands of member companies . The FIT Show also provides an ideal forum at which visitors may discuss – and book – new and other services .
